Film Submission Requirements
1. We are seeking excellent and original moving image work, narrative, documentary, animation, experimental, hybrid, emerging technologies and media-based performance. We are looking for unique stories, in feature, short and expanded reality formats.
2. All information should be entered on FilmFreeway. Vimeo links are preferred for preview screeners.
3. Each submission should be entered separately on FilmFreeway. If you are submitting more than one entry, please complete a separate entry for each submission.
Film Submission Requirements
1. Rough cuts and works-in-progress are eligible for submission if an exhibition copy will be available by March 25, 2024. Please identify the screener as a “Rough Cut” and specify what is missing (i.e. temp sound, needs color correction, etc). Please be aware that an updated version of your rough cut MAY NOT be able to be re-screened for submission consideration.
2. By submitting your work to MdFF, you grant us a nonexclusive license to use an excerpt of your submission of up to two minutes in length, for promotional purposes only, including but not limited to internet and television broadcast.
3. Still photos of your work are requested with your submission and are required for all films selected for the festival. Good stills make a difference in film placement and press coverage, particularly for shorts. Even the shortest short can get press coverage or festival prominence with a captivating still image. Stills should be in JPEG format and hi-resolution (at least 300 dpi).
4. You are also encouraged to enclose a synopsis, production credits, past screening info, press clippings and any other information regarding your film.
